Another Day

I wrote and recorded this fairly quick but probably spent too much time mixing it.
I just recently purchased a 1983 MXR Drum Computer and wanted to use it for this song. So I made a couple simple drum loops with it, along with some variations/fills, and just recorded them in as such. I then wrote the song on guitar right along with the drum loop.
Stuff I used (heavily detailed for my own reference):
Fernandes Strat with humbuckers tuned to E
Music Man 112RD, on board reverb (recorded with Shure SM7B, close)
Fender P Bass with flat wound strings tuned to E
Traynor Bass Mate (recorded with Shure SM7B, about 1 foot away from amp)
Vocals: Audio-Technica condenser microphone with Stedman pro screen
DBX 386 Mic Pre, and 266XL compressor
RME Multiface II for capturing the audio to computer
MXR 185 Drum Computer (into Symetrix 522 compressor, reverb from the Lexicon MPX1)
Ensoniq SQ-80 for the organ and synth sounds (reverb from the Lexicon MPX1)
Mastering:
I ran the master mix out of my computer into an Ashly PQX572 EQ unit and then into a DBX 266XL compressor.
I then applied final limiting with the FabFilter PRO-L.
Note to self:
Start researching about de-essers and sibilance processing!!!!
